Hi,
I'm a June applicant (2021) and everything in my account is completed now except the ceremony. Do you know how long it takes to get the email for oath at this point? Thanks!

How much does it cost for the Mandamus ?
 
My tracker shows ceremony as completed but application status at the top is still in progress. Why is this? How much time does it take to get the citizenship certificate?

Finally after approximately 3 years and 1 month, I have received an Oath invite for early December. It has been quite a wait and after 12 years in Canada, I am excited to officially become a Canadian. I just wish that I had my application processed in ~12 months like others and did not have to spend money on a mandamus.

Congrats! Do you know why it took 3+ years for you ?

Which lawyer you used for Mandamus and how much cost have you incurred? I am in the same situation.

Congrats, even though it took too long! Sorry to hear you had to bring a mandamus to get movement, but how long did it take to get movement after filing the mandamus? what was your full timeline?
